Our Team

Addy Salau, 27, Founder

Addy is a boundless creative intellectual, who sounds a lot like (and perhaps looks like) Beyonce in person. Shortly after graduating from Harvard, she worked as a math teacher in Brownsville, Brooklyn for several years.

Then in 2016, to the shock of her Nigerian parents, she pulled the plot twist of the century when she decided she’d quit her job to become a Rapper, basically wasting her Ivy League degree and ruining the family legacy.

Realizing that she needed a day job and that her ADD couldn’t be contained into just one profession, she does the absolute MOST for a living now as the founder of Party Blackly, a Math Education Consultant, Rapper, Singer/Songwriter, Activist, Content Creator and Co-Host of the Ben Talks Show on Radio Free Brooklyn. Because who needs sleep?

Taylor Key, 22, Publicist

Taylor Key is a dedicated public relations professional who guides willful organizations in attaining their goals through creative and authentic methods. She graduated from Seton Hall University '18 with a B.A. in Public Relations and is recognized for her diligence, integrity and passion for making an impact. Her focus is in B2C PR extending into branches of branding, reputation management, social media and events. Along with her intense love for PR, she enjoys cooking, going to the beach, and dabbles in astrology and tarot.

Syron, 25, Producer

Syron is a hugger who wears lots of glitter. Her ultimate goal in life is to get crazy rich by owning a chain of parking lots, but until then, living her passion seems to be working out.  

Equally influenced by her classical musical training and her love of dancing with her tongue out, Syron strives to proudly represent the "sophisti-ratchet" community. She wears many hats at PartyBlackly including event producer, creative director and Addy's hype man. The Ohio native never intended to find herself living in the big city, but sometimes the universe dares you.

Miriam, 20, Music Intern

Miriam, the entertaining Eritrean mama, is a wild, energetic lover of the underground music scene slowly making it happen.

Shortly after entering college, Miriam was exposed to the different types of creativity each individual had to offer from all parts of LA. The number of hidden talents sprinkled all throughout the city is INSANE! Now, she's made it her mission to put others on to the Next Big thing in their very own neighborhoods! Aside from academics, Miriam is a marketing intern at 1500 Sound Academy in Inglewood, CA. College student by day, playlist curator by night... YUP, that's Miri!
